Vote for your top 5 favorite TPA tables to date

[Judi Chop]

I thought it would be fun now that the end of the year is here to see what tables have been the favorites. Put up your top 5 and lets see which have made the biggest impact so far.

 

[Iain]

Monster Bash is my favorite table and the one I keep going back to time after time, I think that Medieval Madness and Scared Stiff would be my next two favorites and then probably Creature From the Black Lagoon and Theatre of Magic filling my top five although another half dozen tables could probably sneak into 4th or 5th place depending on what I'm playing most at the time.

The only tables I'm not too fussed about and dont really play are, Black Hole and Funhouse and I must admit after all I have read and heard about, Twilight Zone, I have been a little disappointed with that table and I definitely find it a little overrated personally.

In general TBA has just been awesome and I just hope they keep these great tables coming for the next year.

Kind of hard to vote for a table not released on my platform and even worse for XBOX thats alot of missing votes

 

[smooverr]

Aww who's the poor guy that voted for HD?

 

[Kevlar]

Aww who's the poor guy that voted for HD?

Not me but I'd take HD over BS any day.

Aww who's the poor guy that voted for HD?

Not me (MM/CFTBL/SS/Taxi/BS), but i think it is amazing how many
TOP votes for my personal #18 are made, TZ !!

It's weird. I love MM as a game but I somehow find the TPA version oddly unsatisfying. TZ is no longer the challenging pin I once loved (and the Powerball is screwed on my iPad). In the end I went with TotAN, ToM, BoP, Taxi and MB - both as great games and good/great TPA versions.

That's how I feel with Scared Stiff. I love the real table, but the TPA version isn't top 5... probably barely makes top 10.

I wish I could find 5 tables without game breaking bugs on the Xbox 360.

 

[Nik Barbour]

There aren't any I would be without, and I've bought them all on two platform's now, but........

Voted for in order of the most played...
TZ, BK, BS, RBION & BOP

I wish BK was better scripted (xbox Williams Classics is much better & you can see the upper level) but it still gets played on Android.

People will argue about BOP, but I love that feeling when you're welcomed to the billionaire club, and quite enjoy the repetitiveness after a stressful days work.

Ripleys was a slow starter, but gets the most xbox play lately.

Only one I really don't like, and never have is Tales.

As much as I hate EM tables, I still think I'd take one over HD. I don't know why Stern even bothered making it lol. And of all the earlier Sterns they could have chosen from (Monopoly, RCT, hell even WOF) I can't figure out what possessed them to choose HD.

 

[Lord Boron]

I really only have one complaint about HD. I seem to end up in Video Mode every couple of minutes. I get so sick of it half the time I just let myself crash. Other than that I don't think it's as horrible as some say.

 

[smooverr]

Yes!!! Same here (vid mode). The reason I hate it is its lack of depth. It's just three shots repeated over and over until you get multiball. Meh. And the flippers feel more sluggish on it compared to other tables on PS

 

[Hinph]

Yeah, the video mode is lousy and much too frequent... I rarely ever care for the video modes in pinball tables, though.

 

[Bass Mummy]

I agree. To me, video mode always felt like a sort of tacked-on attraction that was put in place to try to slow the shift toward video games in arcades.

 

[Pinballfan69]

Top 5?
No good Gofers
Medieval Madness
Taxi
Theater of magic
Monster Bash

Figured TZ would lead the way. I haven't delved into Twilight Zone Because it's not available on the PS3 yet. I've played the demo on my Samsung Galaxy 3 but the screen is way too small to really get what's going on.

Top 5 is mostly Williams tables which isn't surprising as I love their tables.

 

[Mark W**a]

Gorgar more popular than Black Knight? I'm surprised to see that, maybe due to the PS3 version being crummy?

Poor Harley Davidson . The table nobody asked for lol.

Scared Stiff deserves more votes as does Party Monsters but I'll admit it they didn't quite make my cut for top 5 either. For as much love as Richie and Lawlor get I personally think John Papadiuk or George Gomez tables deserve just as much praise, and I'm happy to see I'm not alone.

 

[k88dad]

I'm not surprised by the top four, but the next few are shocking. CftBL is amusing, but it's way too easy to be a top table. I suppose it is pretty high on the IPDB list. I'm pleasantly surprised to see Big Shot, currently at position seven. I would have guessed that people would have been turned off by both the difficulty and the lack of modern bells and whistles.

Here's hoping that this bodes well for the release of more old tables, such as Eight Ball Deluxe, Aztec, Big Indian, Royal Flush and Spirit of 76. There is some quality gameplay in these older tables.

 

[smbhax]

Looks like I'm pretty much liking what most people are liking, except where's the love for Funhouse? I didn't care for it much in Williams Collection but the PS3 TPA version has definitely grown on me quite a bit.

 

[Kevlar]

Its a pity we couldn't vote on our complete order preference rather than just top 5, HD could be number 6 on everyones list . Seriously though it would be a lot more acurate.
